wedding photos

January 17th, 2009 was the wedding of my cousin Christopher, and thus the most recent Fajardo family event. Here are my favorite photos of the weekend and my reasons why. Above, is Christopher and Samantha walking out the church as man and wife.

Reception fun! In this photo I am totally laughing because the picture we took before this one only had a head shot of Heather, it was pretty hilarious. She was pretty embarassed, but we're family and its all in good fun.

Apparently this is how my family rolls. Personally, I think Nathan and Eugene (off to the right) look a little too "come hither other homosexuals" to act like they're so tough. Really, my cousins who act like they have a tough exterior don't even bother taking photos. Monica's throwing up gang signs possibly trying to represent Carson or Long Beach, haha. I love how my dad and Joey are chillin off to the side, not caring that my cousins are enjoying a good photo op.

This was the drunken scene of the night. Featured above are my Uncle Paul, my Dad, and my Uncle Ralph (father of the groom). The brothers look so happy together, even though they're totally making fun of my Uncle Ralph who got wasted off his merlot. Apparently, he needed a scalp massage which is suppose to explain the hot towel over his head.

The sun was still out when this photo was taken of me and my cousin Eunice. We were seated next to the window, which explains the weird lighting. We're smiling, but we're definitely not too happy as we still not get our food at this point. We watched as they set the table with green salad, red potato salad, wild rice, lobster pasta, pulled pork, salsa, and prime rib. Our niece Paris Sky took this amazing photo, main reason this falls under favorite pictures of the wedding.

I love me some baby Kingston! I adore this little boy. Picture number 1 looks as if he's gotten a little tipsy with his champagne glass. Trust me this boy takes after his momma! Picture number 2 shows off Kingston's pimpness, tat he takes from his dad. No wonder they call him Papi chulo.

My cousin Marcia Maycee Ramos. The sister of the groom looked fabulous and got my vote for best dressed of the evening, hence one of my favorite pics. Kingston looks so guapo in this picture with his Ninang or Nina.

Paris Sky posing with her newest cousin Mikayla Jade. Paris took a break from dancing and decided to hold the new baby. Both girls are super adorable and I just think this is an amazing photo.

*All in all the event was a blast. It's always nice to be around family, especially family that we do not get to see very often. I am very blessed to have such a large family and I am proud to be a Fajardo. I wish Christopher and Samantha a prosperous marriage and cannot wait for my next niece or nephew.
